It is not an enjoyable act to hit yourself, but if there is even a chance that hitting yourself could result in the death of a mosquito, it is worth it. As we head towards summer here in Frisco, the rate of mosquito encounters will be going up, along with incidences of self slapping. If you would like to enjoy your yard without having to deal with slapping yourself this year, we have some helpful tricks you should try.
What Are Mosquitoes?
If you have spent even a little bit of time outdoors, you know about mosquitoes. You know they fly. You know they have needle noses to pierce your skin, and you know there is almost never just one. Here are a few things you might not know about mosquitoes.
- Female mosquitoes are the only ones who bite. They do so to nourish their eggs.
- Over 3,500 species of mosquitoes exist around the globe.
- One mosquito can drink up to 3 times its weight in blood.
- To survive the colder months, mosquitoes will lay their eggs and/or hibernate.
- Mosquitoes eggs are laid in still pools of water.
- When mosquitoes are born, they spend 10 days in water.
- A mosquito can live up to 2 months.
- Mosquitoes are the most dangerous creatures on the planet and are responsible for over a million deaths each year. Thankfully, our availability to advanced medical services here in
- America keeps the risk of dying from mosquito-transmitted diseases to a minimum.
Ways You Shouldn’t Try To Deal With Mosquitoes
Doing mosquito control on your own can be fairly simple, however, getting results can sometimes feel impossible. By removing sources of standing water on your property, mosquitoes won’t be able to breed as frequently. This does not mean, however, that they cannot breed on properties near your own and fly over to cause trouble. Some people use chemical-based mosquito treatments around their lawn to try to deter mosquitoes. The biggest problem with this is the danger chemical-based pest control can pose when not used properly. If too much treatment is used in one area, kids or pets coming in contact with it could get very sick, and we can all agree a mosquito-free yard is not worth one of your family members getting sick.
